Nearly two years ago, food author Mark Bittman launched an army of first-time bread makers with his no-knead, super-simple bread recipe (including a few of ourhelpfulcommenters). Now Bittman has tweaked the recipe to reduce the leave-it-alone time from 14 hours down to about four, while also allowing for a healthier, whole-grain variation. Actually, the recipe can be tweaked almost any way you want, as long as it's made in a standard loaf pan and the proportions of liquid, solids, and yeast stay close. Got your own killer home-baked recipe derived from the no-knead template? Spread the love in the comments.
